Very interesting, I learned a lot :-)

Great Podcast about living and working in China

The China Flexpad podcast is just great and I only can highly recommend it. Helpful for everyone who is planning to spend (part of) their career in China. Both China newbies as well as old China hands are sharing their experiences of living and working in China, their pitfalls and lessons, their successes and achievements. If you ever plan to work in China this podcast is definitely worth to listen, it will make things a lot easier and you have a great community of Flexpads behind that you can reach out to. The podcast covers various industries and guests from so diverse backgrounds and cultures which is making it both super informative and inspiring.

Authentic life experience

People from different backgrounds share their insights from living in China and interacting with Chinese people. Very grateful for this podcast as I’m preparing myself for working in China soon. I can recommend this podcast to anybody interested in working with Chinese colleagues or working and living in China.
